Even that was fortunate
What're the chances we'll score 5 goals in one game from open play this season?

- Start date
Worse thing is. I actually believed it would be 1-0.
We are much more likely to lose 5-0 than win by that score at the moment.
Literally Ferguson's last game.

It will never happen under LVG. He is too cautious and focuses more on ball retention than going forward to score more goals. Hence all the sideways and backward passing. I've got a ST but not been inside Old Trafford since around December. I was not enjoying the games at all. If he's still our boss next year I'll not be renewing. I don't think I'll be the only one too. In fact I know a few lads from my boozer who are doing the same.
Somewhere between the chances of me growing a 10inch cock and never.
Never under this management. He would probably be livid at the players for giving the ball back to the opposition 3 times by scoring goals after being 2-0 up.
Funny :-)
4 goals in 6 league matches since we beat Arsenal
Under LvG I don't think it would just happen ever. If the scoreline reached say 3-0 he would actually stop the side from attacking and just force them to see the game out simply holding the ball.
Just to put it in perspective - we haven't scored more than 3 goals the whole season.
Only Villa, Swansea, Watford, Brom and surprisingly WHU from Premiership teams hasn't scored more than 3 in one game this season.
I can't even remember a single season when we did not put at least 4 in a single game past the opponent.

Umm... 5-0 against Leverkusen under Moyes? None of them were from the spot, IIRC?
I think we will just about get 5 from our remaining 5 games.
League
We won't though. We won't score more than 1 in any of them and we will be goalless in at least one.
you're probably right, I was going for more optimism.
We might score 5 in the remaining fixtures, but not in 1 game.
I was going to mock your optimism, but then I remembered there are potentially 2 FA Cup matches as well as 5 in the league, so we might just about manage this.
Still too optimistic. Unless both cup games go to penalties.
Edit: Maybe not even then judging by our shootout record of late.
Premier League, I meant.
If we wont 5-3 (ala the Spurs match what seems like a life time ago) LVG would have thrown his notepad at the players for allowing Spurs to get hold of the ball too many times. Possession is 9 10th of his philosophy -- which then assumes that they could never score against us that way.
For some reason this post aroused me. So, mission accomplished sglowrider.
@this thread...I'd settle for two...
The adrenaline rush when we score two these days....
